It all started when Shoemoney challenged me to see if I can grab more cash than him while inside the Market Leverage Cashinator. The winner would get the loser’s money. The loser would also need to give the winner another $100 from his own pocket. All the money would then be given to a reader on the winner’s blog.
We were all ready to go when Tyler Cruz showed up at the last minute and wanted in on the Challenge. Then Zac Johnson wanted it in as well. So, the new rules were, everyone would go into the Cashinator at the same time and grab as much cash as possible. Then we would each go into the Cashinator by ourselves to grab as much cash as possible. The winner would get all the money. The losers would each have to give an extra 100 from their own pocket.
At the end of the challenge, one blogger won over $500 to give away on his blog. Find out who won in the video below.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Nice work John! Pity you didn’t win but i’m sure if you were only versing Shoemoney you would have taken it out! Awesome tshirt by the way!
Yea, you still finished 2nd, and beat shoe as well!
Looks like fun… Tyler Cruz cleaned up nice from his shave earlier this week. hahah
Oh great tyler………………lovely competition, john you tried the other way around when you went in on ur own and that was wrong
better luck next time
Haha looked like fun I plan on being there next year for sure. I’ll be waiting for Tyler to make his post about the giveaway.
Looks like loads of fun. unlucky that you didn’t come home with the prize, but im sure tyler will be super stoked. Hopefully next time (if there every is a next time) then you can do a better job
LMFAO I love this video. The group challenge was classic. I also liked the other challenge.
You lot need to do this more often!
Nice work John. You still won the contest between you and Shoe. I wrote on Shoe’s blog that you were going to win, since you have experience in the cashinator. Nice of you guys to let Zac and Tyler in on the challenge.
The t shirt looks real cool, howray for u, u came in 2nd
I thought you would have gone into the booth one person at a time. That would have made more sense I think. Fun stuff either way.
sorry try again later lol
The real secret was the suit I suppose. Heading to the winners blog now.
Haha that was real fun, and spur of the moment too.
Stay tuned for a future post from John where you see my wad of cash get even bigger. John kept playing with my money all during dinner and almost accidentally ate my $100 bill from Jeremy at one point when the stack fell over, lol.
lol.. i think you should revel the secrets on your blog
lol…… cool contest..
Bad luck, congy to tyler
Huhuhuhu..
You all crazy about money…
That’s good..
What? 4 guys in such a small cabin. pretty gay!
good thing no one dropped the soap!
Kinda looked like I did unfortunately… lol
John the above comment has broken your antispam tool
That was awesome! I’ve been looking forward to seeing this for the last 2 weeks.
I was in a cashinator for my wedding and I ended up winning enough money to pay for my tuxedo. I had someone give me a secret to catching money though.
lol john wth where u doing
Been following your “war” with Shoemoney for sometime now. It makes for entertaining reading and we get to pick up a few tips here and there as well. Too bad you didn’t win but there’s always next time!
Thats awesome! 4 people in the Cashinator at once. Thats so sweet.
Cashinator Challenge Re-Match…coming soon to a tradeshow near you!

The Cashinator Challenge was a lot of fun, it drew a large crowd of spectators. We will have to do it again at the next show and put some kind of different spin on it.

Excellent idea/challenge and awesome money. I love it.
It look awesome but the risk is $100 from our pockets.. It was a fun game..
So this is the beginning of the Cashinator Saga. Ahha!
